Re: Print Spooler

Sir

I ran "services.msc" as you suggested, got the window, moved down to print
spooler, and there was nothing to the right of the title entry. I did notice
several other entries had "started" next to their title.

I then noticed in the left pane, I could click on "start service" (or some
words like that). So. I clicked it and got teh following error message.
"Could not start the Print Spooler service on local computer. Error 1068.
The dependency servive or group failed to start."

I hope this tells you something as I'm baffled.

The other respondant asked if this was the only printer installed on this
machine. There are no printers installed. This is our road notebook and has
never had a printer installed. One time when I had it connected to my home
network, Windows tried to install the desk top Lexmark printer that is
connected to the desk top. I stopped teh install and then removed it.

Thanks for any help you might offer.

What was the result of starting the Print Spooler Service ?

If you run; services.msc

And you scroll down to; Print Spooler

What is its state ? Is it; "Started" ?
